I didn’t realise Rishi Sunak was 40 (or 5’5!). I also didn’t realise Jason Mansford was under 40 and Allegra Stratton is 40 (must be a lie surely, she looks more like mid or late 40’s?!). This isn’t a shit stealth boast, it’s more lm pretty sure they have had easier and more privileged lives than me but look so worn?! I regularly work 6 days a week, 12 hour days and have no housekeeper or trust fund. But look less worn despite being 41 Confused

Until you post a photo.............

None of them look "worn" or older than their age. I think you're just very critical, or looking to see things that aren't there.

Rishi sunak has a massive job at the moment.

Tony Blair, Barack Obama aged hugely during their time as PM.

I'm not sure who the other two are.

irrespective of politics I think it's a hard job.

I also don't get the point of your post.

Some people age better than others.

Things like smoking, heavy drinking, etc take their toll. Poverty. Hard outdoors manual work. Etc.

But I think a lot of it is based on genes.

Comparing yourself to a bunch of random people on the telly is odd.

Try being the chancellor of the Exchequer in an unprecedented national crisis combined with Brexit for a year.

Let's see what that does...

Hmm

Bit daft. Two of the people you mention aren't celebrities anyway and none are exactly the types you'd expect to be massively interested in their appearances. Well, aside from Rishi, who I can imagine has a large store of moisturisers etc. But I don't think he looks older than he is anyway. To be honest, neither do the others, they're just don't look especially young.

leafygarden42 · 19/03/2021 06:19

You look less worn eh?

Well done - on your non stealth boast.

Let the Mumsnet Grand Jury decide by posting up a picture of your face. Go on, go on, go on.

leafygarden42 · 19/03/2021 06:19

And who is Allegra?? Just off to google that

leafygarden42 · 19/03/2021 06:23

Ermmm - she looks perfectly normal and around 40-ish which is her age.

Lochmorlich · 19/03/2021 06:24

Well you've picked 3 people who work unsociable hours.
Rishi Sunak also has the most stressful job ever.
Weird post.

ThomasHardyPerennial · 19/03/2021 06:26

Why does it matter how tall Rishi Sunak is? People keep mentioning it like it is hugely important, why do people care about his height so much?

RoseAndRose · 19/03/2021 06:26

'easier.....lives' - and you know this how?

Most of skin aging is down to genetic lottery and sun exposure, neither of which care if you're 'privileged' or not

IFoundMyselfInThisBar · 19/03/2021 06:26
Hmm
MonkeyNotOrgangrinder · 19/03/2021 06:28

I looked a lot less worn until 42/43, then it all went downhill and I look my age at 45. Just saying op Wink

ZNation · 19/03/2021 06:55

Jason Manford looks really good for his age and actually better as he got older.
Rishi just looks like a normal guy and had to google Allegra but again normal lady.
